Wing Wires - Yokomo
 

I need to make up some wing wires for a couple of my Yoke's. I was going to order some piano wire but I need to know the diameter of the originals.

Anyone either used piano wire and know what diameter I need to order, or got the ability to measure the diameter of the originals please let me know.

cheers
Tim

The old cats are 1.6mm 16swg so I bet the yokes arn't far off I'll dig out my new one and mesure it up for you tomorrow.

cheers Justin

You know piano wire may rust unless zinc / tin coated and even then once tin / zinc coating breaks down can corrode.

Why not consider using a stainless grade such as 302 or 316

For my Losi xx I used 302 and it wasn't much harder to form than piano wire.

Here you go Timmy sorry for the delay

It's 2mm thick tre plastic is .1mm so take that off
